There is an issue with the install.bat however. This version was meant to install into vs2005. To install coolcommands for VS2008, modify the setup bat file. Replace the line that begins regpkg with this

Rock on!!! I've been looking for that fix for quite sometime now. This week I was already considering using the DXCore and write my own plugins to do that. Glad to know I won't have to spend any time on that. :)

Yes you can run the tool in side-by-side installations of VS 2005, and VS 2008.. You just need to run the setup twice; once using the out-of-the-box, unmodified setup.bat, and then modify the setup.bat as outlined above and re-run it.

It didn't work for me unfortunatelly. I've modified the bat file, run it successfully (no errors), but then when I open any solution in Visual Studio I don't have "Locate in solution explorer" option in drop-down menu. Which is the most important feature for me. Have you run into such problem? Was able to fix that?
